Harp Exercises for Speed and Agility By Deborah Friou | Finger Strength and Hand Coordination for Non-Pedal and Pedal Harps | Sheet Music Practice Book | Harp Technique Guide for Beginners and Experts

I haven’t played the harp in many years. When I started back, I realized that I was almost back to a beginner. I bought this book of exercises and fine it very useful, whatever level you’re at.Nicely bound. Would recomend.

Good exercises, especially when paired with a metronome.

This book is great for improving sight reading, stretching and exercising the fingers, warming up, and it's great to have nearby when you have days you know you need to practice but don't really know exactly what you feel like working on. Just grab this book, practice some technique and exercises, and before you know it you've played for a half hour and feel like working on that one piece you know you need to but have been putting off because it's new or difficult!

I'm getting back to harp after a few years away and boy I lost all my talent. This book will help me get it back. It definitely shows me how lacking I am in smoothness and muscle memory but will help me if I keep at them. This is just what I was looking for. I'm only at the beginning pages tho and haven't really seen much of the rest of the book. But it's already got me working on 5ths, 6ths, and octaves. I need that.

After a few weeks I'm still on the first two pages. This book will clearly last my lifetime.I'm a beginning harp student studying with a couple of Mel Bay books and with Diana Rowan (sirenharp.com)via Skype. I asked her about this book and she recommended it, and all (as in, 100%) of the Amazon reviews I read also recommended it, and here I am and I'm recommending it too.It is exactly what it says it is: exercises to build up your agility and speed. They are well thought out, with simple instructions to help you maintain your focus on the intended study subject. As the student builds up skill the exercises increase in difficulty so that, as I say in my title, this can be a book to study with for a lifetime. Five stars without a moment's hesitation.

Most teaching material out there contains scales and arpeggios, but this book goes well beyond, with this book like all books you have to open them and use them to gain anything, this book will challenge you to be a better performer and you will be.

great product

I am a beginner and I have only been playing for the last two months. However, this book has exercises that I can do and it helped me with my lessons. I can not comment on the advance portion since I am not at that level but the books looks like it has very advanced moves (that can be broken down for beginners). I would recommend this book to anyone who is beginning to play since it will help you with your lessons, see what is expected of advance playing and give you lots of challenges. Six months later and I continue using this book to use with my lesson. Teacher says I am almost at a first year level. This books helps you learn how to practice, the new techniques that you are going to learn in songs and build confidence. Recommend it.

Le colis est arrivé en bon état, livre neuf, non endommagé.Les exercises sont parfaites pour améliorer le jeux des mains. Ils commencent simples, la dificulté augmente graduellement. Des airs agrémentent les sections.je recommande ce livre fortement.

I have improved so much with this book. 10/10
